Everyone with a ZX Spectrum had Horace Goes Skiing. That’s fact, surely? I did. The protagonist, Horace, was in a number of games and should be instantly recognizable to those who spent far too much of their childhoods loading games from tape. For a while now he’s been springing up round Sheffield. I’m going to leave any argument about the rights and wrongs of graffiti aside (primarily because it’s boring) but he tends to pop up in easy to see, yet hard to access places. I snapped him here, behind the famous Roneys butchers.

Time for a bit more fluid graffiti than we’re used to. Also comes without any of the lasting effects that are often rather unpopular. This reminds me a lot of a brilliant flash game called flOw which is so beautiful, so simple… whoops; there goes another hour floating round the ether.
